today MRC is a system of not-for-profit corporations headquartered in the woodland Texas we still maintain a valuable covenant affiliation with the Texas annual conference of United Methodists from which our core values are derived but the Texas annual conference has no legal or financial responsibility for MRC so we are totally self supporting the majority of our funding comes from residents paying for the services they receive and we are also fortunate to receive donations from those willing to support various programs like benevolent assistance for those who run out of money through no fault of their own and specialty Alzheimer's buildings and programs now each of our communities also maintains very strong relationships with churches of many different denominations throughout MRC we are open to persons of all faiths and we rely heavily on members of other churches and others in the local communities where we exist to provide much-needed volunteer assistance in 2008 we began our most remarkable transformation in the last few years we have completely redeveloped and rebuilt a brand-new crestview retirement community in Bryan as a continuous care retirement community now

skilled nursing and rehab we have also completely redeveloped and rebuilt a brand-new retirement community for huntsville to replace the old 1950s building of town creek the new community is called MRC creekside consisting of assisted living apartments specialty memory support suites for those suffering with Alzheimer's and other dimensions and skilled nursing and rehab units and now we just

fifty staff construction is expected to start in mid-2014 MRC is now looking for our next site project to begin our next healthy living senior living community as we continue to expand our service ministry with the mission to serve senior adults in Christian environments and a vision to expand our reach to as many souls as we can touch MRC is only as good as our team of employees it is imperative that every team consists of quality individuals who appreciate our mission and value the deserving residents we serve our teams must work together in harmony toward the greater good of serving others there's absolutely nothing more rewarding or more noble than serving others it's a mission that is bigger and more important than any one of us when we understand this it is easy to realize that great opportunity we've been given at MRC and join a career that serves others it's much more blessing than a job for those who understand and if you do not quite yet understand just give it a try make it a habit every day to do something special for someone else and you will absolutely be amazed at how good it makes you feel I believe that every employee who gives his or her best should go home at the end of the day feeling the reward that comes from serving others and if you've given your best for the team with the right attitude you should feel good about yourself as we strive for excellence and professionalism throughout all of them are see we have adopted the eye care value system from the methodist hospital system in Houston who year after year ranks as one of the top 10 hospital systems in the country icare stands for integrity compassion accountability respect and excellence this is who we are and who we want to always strive to be our residents are parents grandparents and even great-grandparents these are real people who deserve to be treated with respect and an opportunity to live this part of their life to their fullest capability my challenge to you is to use these values to make a positive difference in the lives of those we serve and those with whom you serve with a smile on your face treat others exactly how you would want to be treated and at the end of the day the biggest difference will be in your life this is my hope for you and for us thank you so much choosing to work with us at MRC you matter to us and we want you to know how
